Birdsong 2013

Senior Consultant Alex Wardle, recently designed the lighting for the hugely successful production of Sebastian Faulks's ‘Birdsong’, which was back on the road for the third time this year. He also designed the lighting for ‘My Perfect Mind’, which transferred off Broadway in June. Most recently, he has taken ‘Flare Path’ out on tour with Original Theatre and Birdsong productions. He also finds time to play violin with the Winchester Symphony Orchestra

Birdsong travelled to the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury this June as part of its UK and Ireland 2013 tour.

Charcoalblue worked closely alongside the client and the architect at the Marlowe Theatre to help them develop their vision in transforming it into a venue fit for the 21st century. We were thrilled to see it win the prestigious RIBA South East Downland Award in 2012 and are very proud to have seen Birdsong being showcased there.

Birdsong's success in 2013 led to a further tour in 2014 - full details can be found here.
